About this listen

Fifteen years ago, in Mitch Albom's beloved novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran turned amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie's journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Mitch Albom reveals Annie's story.

The accident that killed Eddie left an indelible mark on Annie. It took her left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Injured, scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie's life is forever changed by a guilt-ravaged mother who whisks her away from the world she knew. Bullied by her peers and haunted by something she cannot recall, Annie struggles to find acceptance as she grows. When, as a young woman, she reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, she believes she has finally found happiness.

As the novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding night ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey - and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed.

Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us not only that every life does matter but that every ending is also a beginning - we only need to open our eyes to see it.

Love this mam

Before I found Mitch Albom stories my partner found heaven and I too imagined it to be just the way Mitch writes it. That’s why I continue to be grateful for my life knowing that each day I close my eyes and say it’s a good day to be here and there!

A visit to heaven

An interesting concept , lots of twists and turns as in life ,with a sort of resolving at the end .. A little sentimental but I wanted to know the outcome so a good story teller . It definitely helped to have read the first book . Enjoy !

Just perfect

I loved the first story but this one I found even better. I cried a lot. I like that the story is short too. Worth a listen.
